DUTCH FARMERS suPERsTlTioNs.

Signs, omens and Folk Lore Found
Among the Pennsylvania Dutch.
The Pennsylvania Dutch farmer has
world of sulperstitous lore by which to adjust
his daily toll He must seed his fields not so
much with regard to the condition of the soil
as that Of the moon, which must be on the in
crease Timber is cut when the moon is on the
wane, or the sap will not rum and the wood
will rot; or if the wind changes to the east
chopping is instantly stopped. If the new motn
lies on its back with sharp, appointing horns,
all the farm forces are marshaled for long
and vigorous work; and if it comes on Mon
day, good luck of every sort comes with it.
Mushrooms picked under a waning moon
must never be eaten; but fruit must always
be then picked to preserve its plumpness,
juices and fragrance. There are a hundred
other odd things which are done, or are not
done, "with the moon"
A young bull and an old cock make farm
full and good stock, is an invariable rule with
the Pennsy ylvania Dutch farmer So, too,
he believes that beating walnut tree in
creases its yield. The hoarse croaking of
crows surely means foul weather; while if
the pigs seurry about with straws futter-
ing from their frotbing jaws, everything
must be put under cover from the coming
rain Odd numbers of eggs must always be
furnished the setting hen; the mournful
whistling of plovers bids all be on their
guard against general ILL., horse with one
white foot is not only valuable, but is also
sort of mascot; and it is ever unpropitious to
be recalled after having set out on the most
trifling of journeys, though the harm may be
forfended by asking for, and partaking of,
meat and drink
Regarding death, disease and health getting,
there is a lugubrious lot of spooks, omens and
queer doings. When the night doctor,
night proving hobgoblm is heard riding past,
the simple countryman turns shuddering in
his bed, for he knows death is to occur in
the neighborhood. If the church doors are
heard to rattle with unusual violence, that
announces a coming demise. A corpse which
does not quickly stiffen portends another
death in the same family. If new broom is
used in any home in May the head of the
house will die The first one to enter new
church is sure to die within a twelvemonth,
or worse, be everlastingly given over to the
devil A chicken chirpng sound this is dis
tinct from the ticking of the death watch is
sure presage of death. If a funeral is unex-
pectedly met, a like fatality occurs. To dream
of uprooted trees in ones yard; to see bees
swarm on dead tree or a rotten stick; to
have a cat die in the house, or to have a white
pigeon alight on the chimney, are all sure
signs of death. Edgar l.. Wakeman's Letter
